Our culture and people
Our culture, core values and team members drive our success. We pride ourselves on demonstrating that we are a values-led company, passionate about diversity, inclusion and equity. We care deeply about creating a safe and healthy place for people to work and encourage a culture of openness and integrity. We are invested in continuous growth across all areas and this is reflected across the business from our team members through to customers, partners and the communities we work with.
Inclusive and equitable working
VIBES: Volunteering. Inclusivity. Belonging. Equality. Society.
Lightsource bp is an agile and diverse organisation, driven by our entrepreneurial spirit. Our VIBES programme encourages individuality and creative thinking which drives our success and ability to innovate. We have created an open and inclusive business so our people can contribute towards the growth and success of our company, encouraging global collaboration and equality.
That said, there is still much more to do. We have to continue to push the boundaries of our thinking, keep improving on diversity, equity and inclusion – and keep the vibrancy and openness of our culture alive.
As we continue to deliver solar power to our world, VIBES holds us accountable to our core values, and drives us to become better people and a better business through our growth. It aligns with the ‘People’ pillar of our sustainability strategy and helps us create a positive social impact for our people, partners and communities.
Our core values
From our corporate social responsibility to our passion for renewable energy, Lightsource bp works to five core values that shape everything we do.
Safety
We create a mindset of safety for ourselves and everyone we partner with – upholding a safe physical, psychological and cultural environment for everyone.
Integrity
We have the flexibility to change our opinions as we learn. We are open to new ideas and approaches, creating a growth environment.
Respect
We enable each other to deliver through teamwork, trust, and respectful communication. We are approachable, inspire each other, and instil confidence in stakeholders.
Sustainability
We ensure sustainability by proactively enabling ourselves and our colleagues to grow. We increase diversity, drive equity, and build an inclusive culture.
Drive
We communicate openly and are clear in our own direction and accountability, based on Lightsource bp’s business goals, objectives and priorities.
Diversity. Equity. Inclusion
Everything we do is underpinned by our purpose to deliver solar power to our world and our core values. Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Mission Statement is anchored by these core components and forms an integral part of our business strategy and future growth. These are more than just words for us, they’re the principles guiding how we build our teams, cultivate leaders, and create an inclusive workplace where our people are comfortable bringing their authentic whole selves to work.
